Helen Elliott
Drawn and Painted Marks in Liquid Enamel

This workshop will focus on the experimental use of liquid enamels on copper and porcelain-coated steel, encouraging creative risks and the use of playful, intuitive mark-making. Guided by daily demonstrations, fun exercises, and personalized attention, students will focus on the unique characteristics of drawn and painted marks in enamel. We will explore a variety of techniques—including sgraffito, printing, stenciling, and altering the surface of copper foil—to produce a series of fired explorations. These pieces can be mounted for presentation or finished later as jewelry. All levels. Upper metals studio. Note: this workshop takes place in a studio that has stairs that compromise access. It is made partially accessible by a stair lift.
